Mongolian Quartz Origins & Background
Mongolian Quartz is one of the most exciting and important Quartz discoveries of the modern era. Specimens have been emerging in increasing numbers since approximately 2013, and they represent a completely distinct and highly expressive genre of Quartz growth.
These crystals originate from regions of Mongolia that are geologically complex and mineral-rich, allowing Quartz to form alongside — and sometimes directly within — other mineral species. The result is an astonishing diversity of forms, inclusions, and structural behaviors rarely seen concentrated in a single Quartz family.
Mongolian Quartz is often referred to as a crystal for “The Now”. Its emergence coincides with a time of rapid global change, collective reassessment, and a growing need for heart-centered communication and cooperation.
Mongolian Quartz Geological Information
Mongolian Quartz is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system. What sets it apart geologically is the extraordinary range of growth environments and mineral associations involved in its formation.
Notable Geological Characteristics
- Cascading formations: stepped, flowing crystal growth.
- Dual Core (Pseudomorph) Quartz: inner clear cores later overgrown by included or differently colored Quartz.
- Extensive etching: from fine, intricate patterns to bold, chiseled surfaces.
- Complex mineral associations: including calcite, fluorite, garnet, hedenbergite, and specularite.
Common Associated Minerals
- Hedenbergite: often green, included within Quartz.
- Calcite: frequently pink or white, sometimes forming alongside or beneath Quartz.
- Specularite (Hematite):strong> reflective inclusions enhancing visual depth.
- Garnet: appearing as matrix or companion crystals.
- Fluorite: occasionally present in striking color contrast.
Physical Properties

Dual Core (Pseudomorph) Formation Explained
Dual Core Mongolian Quartz crystals begin life as one crystal — often clear Quartz — and later undergo overgrowth by a second Quartz phase or included material. This creates a crystal with a distinct internal core that actively radiates through the outer layer, producing a synergistic amplification effect.
Mongolian Quartz Crystal Care & Ownership Advice
⚠️ Handling:
Handle gently, especially around cascading edges and etched surfaces. Lift from the base.
🧼 Cleaning:
Avoid prolonged soaking due to associated minerals like calcite and fluorite. Use brief water rinses or dry methods.
☀️ Light:
Some inclusions may be light-sensitive. Avoid prolonged intense sunlight.
📦 Storage & Display:
Display where light can reveal internal complexity, but ensure stable placement.

Laser Wand Quartz Origins & Background
The term Laser Wand Quartz is the most widely used and accepted naming convention in both the collector and practitioner communities, and is therefore used throughout this listing.
Laser Wand Quartz crystals are naturally occurring Quartz points that are long, slender, and very sharply tapered. They are often extremely clear, with minimal side faces, giving them a needle-like or beam-focused appearance. These formations are not cut or shaped — true Laser Wands are born this way through natural growth conditions.
Because of their precision form, Laser Wand Quartz crystals have long been regarded as advanced light tools, capable of condensing, focusing, and directing energy with exceptional accuracy.
Laser Wand Quartz Geological Information
Laser Wand Quartz is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system, like all Quartz. What distinguishes Laser Wands is not chemistry, but highly specialized growth behavior.
These crystals form under conditions that strongly favor elongation along a single axis, with minimal lateral face development. The result is a crystal that is extremely narrow relative to its length, often terminating in a very sharp point.
Diamantina Laser Wand Quartz
The most highly regarded Laser Wand Quartz crystals come from the Diamantina region of Brazil. Diamantina Laser Wands are widely acknowledged as some of the highest-quality Laser Wands in the world.
Notably, Diamantina Laser Wands are often measured at approximately 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, compared to the standard 7.0 hardness of most Quartz crystals. This increased hardness contributes to their durability, clarity, and in some cases, their distinctive acoustic “singing” properties.
Physical Properties
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Mineral Species | Quartz (Laser Wand formation) |
| Chemical Formula | SiO₂ |
| Crystal System | Trigonal |
| Hardness (Mohs Scale) | 7.0 (up to ~7.5 for Diamantina material) |
| Luster | Vitreous |
| Transparency | Often highly transparent |
| Defining Feature | Extreme elongation and sharp termination |
Laser Wand Quartz Crystal Care & Ownership Advice
⚠️ Handling:
Laser Wand Quartz crystals are often thin and sharply terminated. Handle gently and avoid pressure on the tip.
🧼 Cleaning:
Water-safe for brief rinsing. Avoid prolonged soaking, especially for very slender specimens. Dry thoroughly.
☀️ Light:
Light-stable under normal conditions.
📦 Storage & Display:
Store padded and separated from other crystals to protect delicate terminations. Display securely to prevent rolling or tipping.

Citrine Origins & Interesting Facts
Citrine has been prized by human cultures for thousands of years and has long been associated with sunlight, warmth, prosperity, and vitality. Its name comes from the French word citron, meaning lemon, in reference to its natural yellow hues.
Historically, Citrine was used by ancient civilizations as a protective talisman against negativity and was often carried for confidence and success. In more recent centuries, it became known as the “merchant’s stone,” traditionally kept in cash drawers and places of trade.
Natural Citrine is far less common than most people realize. The majority of Citrine seen on the market today is heat-treated Amethyst or Smoky Quartz, which has been altered to produce yellow to orange tones. Truly natural Citrine is relatively rare and is typically lighter in color, ranging from pale champagne to soft golden hues.
From a metaphysical perspective, Citrine has long been associated with joy, optimism, and life-force energy.
Citrine Geological Information
Citrine is a variety of Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂) colored by trace amounts of iron within its crystal lattice. Its color develops naturally through geological heating and oxidation processes over long periods of time.
Natural Citrine forms in hydrothermal environments, often in association with Amethyst, Smoky Quartz, and Clear Quartz. In some cases, geological heating gradually transforms iron-bearing Quartz into Citrine without sudden thermal shock—this slow process is what differentiates natural Citrine from artificially heated material.
Physical Properties
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Mineral Species | Quartz (Citrine variety) |
| Chemical Formula | SiO₂ |

| Color Range | Pale yellow to soft golden tones |
Natural vs Irradiated / Heat-Treated Citrine
Most commercial “Citrine” is heat-treated Amethyst. This material typically displays:
- Deep orange to burnt gold coloration
- Reddish or brownish undertones
- Color concentrated near terminations
Natural Citrine, by contrast, usually shows:
- Even, gentle yellow to champagne coloration
- No reddish or burnt tones
- Subtle, elegant color rather than intense brightness
Bright, saturated gold Citrine is extremely rare in nature. Majestic Quartz supplies natural Citrine wherever specified.
Citrine Crystal Care & Ownership Advice
🧼 Cleaning:
Citrine is water-safe for brief rinsing. Avoid prolonged soaking if fractures are present.
☀️ Light:
Natural Citrine is generally light-stable, though prolonged intense sunlight may soften color over very long periods.
📦 Storage & Display:
Store separately from harder minerals to preserve crystal faces. Citrine is ideal for open display where its energy can radiate freely.
⚠️ Elixir Use:
Only use elixir methods with verified natural Citrine and indirect preparation techniques.

Phantom Quartz Origins & Background
Phantom Quartz is one of the most symbolically powerful growth forms in the Quartz family. These crystals contain visible internal “phantoms” — ghost-like images of earlier stages of the crystal’s own development preserved within the body of the crystal itself.
Each phantom represents a pause, interruption, or shift during the crystal’s growth cycle. Rather than halting development permanently, the Quartz resumes growth and carries the record of that moment forward. Because of this, Phantom Quartz has long been associated with evolution, resilience, and the ability to move forward after disruption.
Phantom Quartz occurs in many Quartz varieties, including Clear Quartz, Smoky Quartz, Amethyst, and included forms. Each variety adds its own nuance to the phantom’s expression and influence.
Phantom Quartz Geological Information
Phantom Quartz forms when a crystal’s growth is temporarily interrupted by the introduction of another substance or a change in environmental conditions. This interruption leaves a visible layer on the crystal’s termination before growth resumes, encapsulating that earlier stage within the final crystal.
Common Phantom-Causing Materials
- Chlorite: often green phantoms
- Hematite: red, brown, or metallic phantoms
- Clay or sediment: pale or earthy-toned phantoms
- Thermal changes: color-zone phantoms (often Smoky or Amethyst)
3D Phantom Formation
The most powerful and visually striking phantoms are referred to as 3D phantoms. In these specimens, the interrupting material fully coats the termination, creating a complete three-dimensional “crystal within a crystal.”
